R devel - Nov 2006 - Ralloc clash

Hi everyone,

Have been trying to include windows.h (from MinGW) and R.h into a package  
and have found that Ralloc is coming up as a clash no matter which include  
ordering I use.  In windows it has 2 arguments and is defined in objidl.h  
and in R.h it is 3 arguments.  Any ideas of how to work round this?  Have  
checked the web and have not seen anyone else comment on this.


Many thanks

Tom

Where exactly did you get windows.h from? The recommended source is 
w32api-3.7.tar.gz, and there is no Ralloc in any of its header files, 
including objidl.h.

BTW, do you know about defining WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN when including 
windows.h?  If not, it is worth finding out about.
